Sporting takes the field in the Champions League

RTP Notícias9 September 2026 at 09:20

Sporting begins tonight its participation in the UEFA Champions League with a home game against Galatasaray. The match is related to the first matchday of the new league phase of the European competition.

The opponent of Sporting is the Turkish four-time champion, meaning Galatasaray has won four Turkish league titles, which demonstrates the status of this team in their country's football.

The match also marks the return of Rafael Leão to Sporting's stadium, the club where the Portuguese forward came through and began his professional career before moving to Milan and subsequently to Lille.

The match takes place at Alvalade, Sporting's home, and represents the kickoff of the "lion's" campaign in the main European club competition.

FC Porto without a single shot on goal in Europe? This hadn't happened since 2017

Paris Saint-Germain beat FC Porto 1-0 at the Estádio do Dragão in a Champions League match, in which goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma did not make a single save throughout the entire game — something that hadn't happened to a Portuguese team in Europe since 2017. The winning goal for the French side was scored by Vitinha, a former Porto player, who celebrated without excessive joy in front of the Porto fans. This was Porto's third consecutive defeat in the competition, leaving the Portuguese team in a delicate position in the league phase.
